There is also this. She is going to have such a sore back standing there in those CFM shoes with that admittedly alluring back arch which puts some of her assets on display...but is really bad ergonomically. Wait till they get the workplace safety fine, too.

The only problem she stopped wearing glasses (switched to contacts)and started wearing her hair down and now she looks like Jennifer Lopez's younger sister!

Santa Maria! All of a sudden I have teenage male patients asking their moms to take them in for their shots. One kid got his first HPV shot and I told him he needed two more.

Formosa/Horycrappo-jima: Unloading was done for now at Karenko so we sent Massachusetts to bombard Takao and the CL/DD force at Karenko to Okinawa to try to intercept the transports suspected to be inbound. More fighters to Horycrappo-jima to cover Lee's force operating near Okinawa.

At night, Kongo was spotted inbound about 80 NE of Taihoku. She may have paid a visit to Karenko. If she did, she missed the PT boats. Tautog attacked Kongo in shallow water and got flattened.

Sub attack near Taihoku at 89,62

Japanese Ships
BB Kongo
DD Yudachi
DD Kisaragi

Allied Ships
SS Tautog, hits 5, heavy damage

USS Grouper makes a run at her as well but is damaged by a DD named after a feminine hygiene product. Perhaps the ASW measures slowed down the Kongo convoy. Too bad, a Kongo vs Massachusetts battle would have been interesting.

Massachusetts is now gone...gone to flatten Takao for a second night in a row.

Is that a pinstripe just above the rear bumpers, or is it a zipper?

Nice curves! Getting a ride may be theoretically possible for old codgers, but bad on the heart, I fear.

So was it the lawnmower or the pitbull that necessitated his appointment with you?

I don't know. It seems as though you could find some economical chum, rather than trolling with yourself for shark. But what the heck do I know?

Kind of like Kevin Kostner in Water World.

No Thank God. The story from the bulletin board is the Coast Guard chopper showed up and he declined a lift to the hospital. He drove himself back to the house where this picture was taken. The last i read he was recovering well after a three hour operation and was mad they wouldn't give him the hook as a souvenir.

While I don't have Cap's credentials, I believe the short answer is yes, and the diagnostic test is quite simple:

Question: Are you a teen male?
Any positive answer reveals the presence of early stage brain damage.

Or at least brain dysfunction due to hormonal overload.

Memsahib: This is nice, we should do this more often.
Me: We should all read a chapter from our books out loud for the others to hear.
Memsahib: Yours would be "This was the most important ship of its time and had 12 guns.
Me: Yours would be "My momma made me live in a tin can and eat frogs"
Memsahib: Hers would be "His skin was sparkling, their eyes met..."
Me: "... and then nothing happened"

At this point the 14 yo SU walked in..

Me: And his would be "See Spot. See Spot run. Run Spot Run."

The DU was still giggling 5 minutes later.
